SP 4 TRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The Times charges Lord John Russell with "job bery, vile, unheard-of jobbery," for having recom mended for appointment three gentlemen to the office of Recorder in the boroughs of Coventry, Faversham, and Hastings. Why charged with joinkry Is the gentleman lately appointed to any one of these boroughs (to Coventry, for instance) a jobber, or friend of jobs, or :!,ver known to be guilty of jobbery ? On the con trary, his character is unblemished. No man living can charge him with such a vice. Is he more disposed to jobbing than the individual who used to officiate at Coventry ? Upon that question we might appeal to the opinion of the Bar, and should be ready to abide by their decision. We say the same for the other two appoint ments. And here we may hint at a report which has reached us, which is, that the disappointed candidate for the appointment at Coventry has two strings to his bow in the Council—his brother being Mayor, and another near relation being member of the Council. Does not this savour of jobbing ? Again, we have heard that he now occupies the chair of the Middle sex Sessions. Does not the wish to hold both offices savour of jobbing ? It is not pretended or insinuated that in point oCexperience, temper, and legal infor -mation, the three gentlemen appointed arc inferior to the disappointed candidates ; and the contrary is known to be the fact. We believe them to be superior in all these points. Then why this charge by the Times of jobbery? For this plain reason—the three (*en demen appointed are men of honour, and Liberall— IV/orning. Chronicle. The events of every day, we may say every hour, concur in deepening the conviction we have of late so often expressed, that the approaching session of Par liament will be by far the mast important within the memory of man. Before six months have elapsed, England will have made great advances towards that complete freedom to which she has so long been as piring, or she will be again under the dominancy of that unprincipled am: 'reckless faction which has brought down upon her all the evils under which she has groaned for so long a period. It cannot be too often or too earnestly repeated, that the Tories are at this moment most actively engaged in making preparations for the ejection of the Melbourne Government, imme diately on the next meeting of Parliament. We do not speak without book, when we say that constant communications on the subject are at this hour going on among the heads of the party, in all part s o f the country, for the purpore of maturing their plans, and enabling them to act more in concert when the time for simultaneous action shall arrive. The Tories have been always proverbial for their union ; but we must say—for it were impolitic to conceal the fact— that never at any former period, since they have been known as a separate party in the State, has their union been so close and cordial as at present. We must also add that, on no former occasion have so many of the leaders of the faction been in the secret of the tactics to be adopted with a view to oust the Ministry. There is not a town of any importance in the United King dom, in which there is not one or more of the more influential of the party who are apprised of the de signs entertained against Liberal principles, and of the course to be pursued—so far as that course is al ready agreed on—for carrying those designs into effect. There exists, in other words, a more perfectly organised, and more extensive conspiracy at present among the Conservatives, with a v i ew t o th e overt h row of the Melbourne Ministry, and the resumption of power by themselves, than ever existed at any former period of our history. Is this doubted ? We could go into a detail of facts, were it not, under all the cir cumstances, impolitic, which would establish our posi tion beyond all question. That, however, were not only unwise, for reasons known to ourselves, but it is unnecessary. 'Whence, we ask, came the rapid succession of Tory feeds, which have of late occupied so much of our attention, and which threatened, at one time, the extinction of pigs and poultry in the provinces ? They all had their origin in this extensive Tory conspiracy against the Mel bourne Government, and the ascendancy of liberal principles. And what greater evidence of the close ness with which the faction are leagued together, or of the extensive ramifications of the conspiracy,— what greater evidence of this could be desired than that furnished by the fact of these dinners taking place simul taneously throughout the width and breadth of the land ? Let us not be told that we are dwelling too much on the dangers which beset the Melbourne Ministry from the machinations of a cunning and malignant faction. Nothing can be gained —every thing, on the contrary, may be lost—by under-estimating the activity or the resources of the Conservatives. By a timely sounding of the tocsin of alarm, measures may be taken by Lord Melbourne, and the people conjointly, to frus trate the tricks and resist the power of the Tories. But if the Government and the people were to be taken by surprise, it is impossible, with a Court party so inveterately hostile to a liberal government and liberal principles, to say what the consequences might be. Nothing is more to be dreaded than a false security, we can never be too much alive to the possibility of danger. That is the only way to defeat and disarm the faction. We have before enforced with this view the urgent necessity of union among the people—let us now impress on the nation the necessity also of a cor dial union with the Government in the coining conflict with the common foe. We are sure Lord Melbourne must see that his only safety consists in throwing him self unreservedly into the arms of the people. Let him do it without delay, they arc ready to receive him, and to identify their interests and their fate with his.— Morning Advertiser, In another colur.in will be found the report of a de putation from the parish of Shoreditch, which waited Yesterday on Lord John Russell, respecting the Poor Laws Amendment Act. We refer to the circum stance as an illustration of the bona ; fide working of the measure, and as an answer to certain romantic ar ticles which we have seen, and from which it would be supposed that the different parishes throughout the kingdom were over head and ears in love with this favourite child of the political economists. Not so the parish of Shoreditch. That parish has exclaimed against the measure, petitioned against the measure, and, as our readers will see in the report to which we have referred, remonstrated against the manner in which their petition was treated by the Home Secre tary. It would be difficult to conceive a more ridi culous situation than that in which Lord John Russell was placed upon this occasion, when he stood as the repmsentative of the Whig Government to hear the opinwris of practical men, deputed by the parish to open his eyes as to the popularity of the New Poor Act. Whatever influence their statements may have with the Government, we feel very little doubt that they will produce a strong effect elsewhere. At all events it is to be hoped that they will prevent those gross exaggerations in which the partisans of a false economy are too apt to indulge.—Morning Herald. We yesterday received accounts from Madras, which state that great sickness continued to prevail at Goom soor, between 1,300 and 1,400 men being on the list. The weather had been hot, the thermometer being at 100. The young Inan who was in Lanark pi ison for shoot ing his sister's or servant's sweetheart near Biggar, has got out on b . :411 ; the Lord Advocate having given his opinion that tLe crime could be charged only as culpable homicide. —Glasgow Courier. BEAR HUNT IN THE CITY..---011 Friday after noon the inhabitants of Fleet-street and Fetter-lane were thrown into a state of great alarm by the escape of a huge Russian bear from the premises of Mr. Bailey, hairdresser, where he had been for some time fattening, in order to supply the citizens with crops of hair. Bruin, after slipping his collar, and demolishing the den, made his first entree through the window of a house in Hen and Chicken-court , Where an old woman was busily engaged in ironing, and who, saluting him with an emphatic " Who arc you r made a rapid exit, leaving him in quiet :possession of the apart ment, and, hastily shutting the door, cut off his further ad vance in that direction. By this time an alarm was raised and the doors closed, so as to prevent his 'egress to the street, and a gallant sally was made front the windows of a public-house in the rear, armed with whatever missiles the place afforded. From this position he was driven into the vaults below, one of the assailants receiving, however, a grip in the arm, which rendered surgical aid immediately necessary. He here seized a youth by the leg, which he severely lacerated, but being hotly pursued soon surren dered at discretion, and by the agility of Mr. Bailey, who in the attempt received a bite in the arm, a rope was thrown round his neck, and Bruin was conducted back to his head-quarters. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT 'OP kiNG'S BENCH, Nor. 21. (Sittings in Banco.) THE KING V. MARSH. This was an indictment against the deredant for pfo - - curing one voter, named Joseph Moore., at an 'election it Dover, to represent another voter (John :111'oo . re) there. The indictment was tried at the last astitt's at'Maidstone, when a verdict of guilty wad 'retkirned. A rule had since been obtained to quash the indictment, on the ground that twenty-eight ip-stead of twenty-three grand jurymen had been swore ) and that as the Jury had asked the Recorder how tVidny were sufficient to find a bill, and he had an , - swered that there must be twelve persons concurring to find a bill, it was possible that there might have been a majo rity against the bill. Other grounds were urged at the time of the motion, but as they were founded on the affi davit of one of the grand , jurymen, and as the Court was of opinion that the affidavit of a grand juryman as to what pass in the grand jury -room, ought not to he received, those grounds were abandoned, and the motion rested solely on such objections as would be fLainded upon the affidavits of other persons. Mr. PLATT now showed cause against tl,•e rule. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL supported the rule.—Rule discharged. THE KING V. THE PROPRIETORS OF BELL ' S NEW WEEKLY MESSENGER. This was a rule for a criminal information against the de fendants for a libel published by them upon Mr. Dyer, in respect of his conduct and decision in the case where two persons, giving, their names as Smith and Parr, had been charged. before him with an indecent assault upon two re spectP.Lle females. Mr. MANSE L, on the part of the defendants, declared that no imputations had been intended to be cast on the motives or character of the prosecutor. An apology had been inserted in the paper to the same effect. Mr. ADOLPHUS, on the part of Mr. Dyer, said that, since the rule had been obtained the offence had been re peated, but that all he required was a full acquittal in the mind of the Court of having acted in an improper way, or from improper motives.—Rule discharged. EXCHEQUER COURT, Nor. 21. IN RE WARD. Sir WILLIAM FOLLETT applied to the Court en affida vits to set aside a writ of immediate extent, issued against the property of a Mr. Ward, a banker, at Woolwich, who had become a bankrupt. The affidavit upon which the fiat was granted was made by one Richard Wrixon, who swore that a sum of 1,038/. for taxes, &c., had been col lected by him from the inhabitants of Woolwich, and de posited for safe custody in the hank of Mr. Ward. The affidavit did not state that the money was paid in by Wrixon himself. Of that objection, however, he (Sir W. Follett) would not avail himself. The affidavits on which he moved were made by Mr. Ward himself and Mr. Gibson, the official assignee. COURT—You had better amend your affidavit, and take a rule to show cause. ARCHES' COURT, Nor. 21. BELCHER V. BELCHER. In this case, which was a suit for the restitution of con jugal rights, promoted by Captain E. Belcher against Diana, his wife, in the Court of the Dean and Chapter of St. Paul's, judgment was given in favour of the promoters of the suit, commanding Mrs. Belcher to return to her husband's home. On behalf of the wife, an appeal has been entered in this Court against the decision of the Court below, and to-day a petition was presented, praying the Court to tax the husband with the costs before the case should be entered into. Captain Belcher is an officer in his Majesty's navy, with an income of about .510/. per an num, and Mrs. Belcher, who, ever since the commence ment of this suit in 1833, has been living with her mother, has maintained herself on an income amounting to about 236/. a year, without receiving any relief from her husband. The KING'S ADVOCATE appeared for Captain Ed ward Belcher, and opposed the taxation of costs. Dr. LUSHINGTON, on behalf of Mrs. Belcher, urged that the general policy of the law was never swerved from, unless it could be proved that the wife was possessed of sufficient income both to maintain herself in the station to which she had been accustomed, and to support all the ex penses of the suit, and prayed the Court, as Mrs. Belcher was unable to support the suit from her own income, to tax the husband with the costs. The Learned JUDGE having stated the circumstances of the case, felt it. his duty to decree taxation of costs on the husband, during the pending of this appeal. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Nor. 21. (Before Mr. Commissioner LAW.) Baron de Wydrof applied upon his petition to he dis charged. The insolvent came to London on the 27th of June, 1835, from which time up to his imprisonment he did a rapid business, as may be seen from the fact that his debts amounted to upwards of twelvo hundred pounds. Mr. Nugee, the well known west-end tailor, is a sufferer to a considerable amount. Tailors, upholsterers, and silk mercers were the persons particularly patronised by the in solvent. He, it appeared, married the sister of a solicitor, residing in the neighbourhood of Regent -street. The Learned COMMISSIONER said that the creditors were very good natured persons, not to oppose him. The insolvent was pronounced entitled to the benefit of the Act. WESTMINSTER COURT OF REQUESTS. DURNFORD V. BURTON. The plaintiff, as greasy a looking little cook as ever bas ted a sucking pig, and as rubicund of complexion as a Staffordshire smelting furnace, summoned the defendant, her master, for IL 3s. 4d. for a month's wages. COMMISSIONER (addressing the defendant)—Do you admit the debt ? Defendant—No ; certainly not. She has not rendered any service for the wages which she claims. Plaintiff—Well, if I ever yeard of sich imperance. Why, my good gentlemen, he wouldn't let me ; and he had the wcry ungentlemanlike impersition to want me, a regler bred cook, gentlemen, to answer the street door bell.—(Loud laughter.) Me, indeed ! I shouldn't think of sich a thing. A COMMISSIONER—Did you really desire the plaintiff to act so irregularly?—(Laughter.) Defendant—l believe her mistress did request her on one occasion when the other servants were engaged to go to the door. Plaintiff—Oh, indeed, a pretty ordering of servants to be sure. I didn't agree to do no such a thing ; I knows my perfession a great deal better, I assure you, gentlemen. (Laughter.) All I agreed for was to attend to roasting, broiling, boiling, stewing, baking, toasting, grilling—and for ?ne to go to the bell indeed ! anybody could do that. A COMMISSIONER—This is the march of intellect with a vengeance. Plaintiff—Yes, Sir, and he wanted me to cook for more than I agreed for. A COMMISSIONER—Very hard, upon my word. Plaintiff—For no less than nine in family and three ser vants. A pretty family to want the cook to answer the street door bell ! I'm ashamed of it ! After the exhibition of much more of this kind of " Ame rican independence," and a few words from the defendant, from which it appeared that the plaintiff had been turned away without any warning, the IL 3s. 4d. was ordored to be paid. The little turnspit then wound up tho whole amount of her dignity, and waddled out of Court, exulting in the "basting" that she had given her master. COURT OF REQUESTS, KINGSGATR-STRBET. A most knotty point was heard regarding a pair of lady's stays, which were of such a magnitude that Mr. Commis sioner DUBOIS likened them to Jack Falstaff's girdle. Miss Clifford, a very intelligent young lady, appeared to support a claim of 11. 11s. for a pair of stays supplied to a lady of the appropriate name of Chuney. This was the third pair of stays made by Miss Clifford for Mrs. Chuney, but of so remarkable a character was the latter lady that that which fitted exceedingly well one day, was altogether too large or too small the next, and it was a fact that she (Miss Clifford) had absolutely altered one pair of stays as often as 69 times !—(Laughter.) COMMISSIONER—ReaIIy, Madam, yo ur p a ti ence mus t have exceeded your customer's capaciousness. Is the lady in Court ? Here an apothecary, as pale and wan as he who supplied the fatal potion to the despairing Romeo, stepped forward and said he had the honour of representing Mrs. Chuncy —(Considerable laughter.) COMMISSIONER—But my good Sir, what can you pos sibly know about the stays ? You never fitted them on , did you ? Defendant—No, Sir ; but I am instructed to say they don't fit ; they are not big enough. a very CommissioN E aLU on my word, Sir, you have under takenyou? Hereh e stays pleasant P task. were produced Have ; you got the stays with they presented an alarmin g expanse of steel, whalebone, and cord, and when extended along the Commissioners' table, looked nearly as large as the m a i nsa i l of one of his Majesty ' s f r i gates . The Jury, after a very attentive examination, decided that the full amount claimed, with costs, must be awarded. The stays were then carried out of the Court by the porter, who assisted in bringing them there. As UNLUCKY S . UITOR. - P e t er P atr i c k, a very sava ge looking specimen of a Tipperary lad, summoned Magaret Flyn for money alleged to have been lent to her in Ireland. Pat Mighthys the throuble, me Lord, t stated every his br sons : o as of us has b een put to t h roug h t h at mother's u woman, and glad is it I am I've bate her at last. I sum moned her in Dublin, and she run away to London. I sum moned her to the City Court, and there they said th e y'd d o . nothing at all, at all, because she lived Westminster ; then, me Lord, I summoned her to Westminster, but neve r could git a hould of her till she got to St. Giles, and now, me Lord, I've summoned her here, and, more power to ye, I know you'll give me jutlee. and make her pay me all the expense.," . 00'.%16iissloNtii-=4}o bwe this money, Mrs. Flyn ? Mrs, Flytr, With all biarney peculiar to her nation, said— Don't bt asking me such questions, me jewel ; if I owe it, may be he knows best ; and I know another thing too, me Lord, I've bate Peter Patrick more than wonst, and now its meeself will bate him again —he's summoned me, my Lord. Well ?—Whilst mightn't he as well summoned me husband. —(Roars of laughter.) COMMISSIONER—Why the woman's married. You're in the wrong box again, Mr. Peter Patrick. I must dismiss the suit, Plaintilt—Och, bad luck to her! if I bad got her in Tip perary I'd knock her to smidireens. Och, thinna mon dioul, there's no justice for ould Ireland.—(Laughter.) The disappointed suitor fairly bowled his way out of hear t ing of the Court, Mrs. Blarney Flyn very wisely remaining under its protection until Patrick could be beheld no longer. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOTV-STREET. Yesterday a respectable master tailor, living in Lichfield street, Soho, applied to Mr. Halls, the sitting magistrate, to know if he had any remedy against a " swell" who had played him the following gross trick. A few days since a person of very gentlemanly appearance called at his house, and said he wanted a suit of the very best cut and mate rials, for which the usual price would be paid. The suit was finished and sent home by the tailor to the " gentle man's" lodgings, with strict injunctions to the messenger not to leave them without the money. The " gentleman" fitted them on, declared that he never had a more splendid fit in his life, and asked the young man if he had brought a stamped receipt with him. He said he had, but not filled up, and looking round the room, he observed, " There is no pen and ink, Sir." "0, my dear boy," said the gentleman, " you shall have that in a moment," and . stepped out of the room as if io procure it. The young man, after waiting a long time, found that the customer bad slipped out of the house, and that he had been lodging there but a week, the landlord knowing nothing of him, excepting that he took an apartment, stating himself to be a half-pay officer. Mr. HALLS said it was a rascally trick, but was one of those offences that did not come within his reach. The applicant then retired. HATTON-GARDEN. A poor Irishwoman, whose intellects were evidently im paired, was brought up by an overseer of St. Pancras, to be passed in the usual way to Ireland. _ Mr. BENNETT reminded the overseer that the woman had been once before at the office, when he (Mr. Bennett) made an order that, as the woman appeared to be an idiot or insane, he would not sign any order unless a surgeon was present to prove that her intellects were not impaired, as he could never pass an idiot or insane person. Overseer--I have examined her, and she is in a fit state to be passed. Mr. BENNETT (rising from his seat)=l entertain a dif ferent opinion, and I will not put my hand to any order for her removal until a surgeon is brought forward to prove to me the state of her intellects, and I expect that it will be attended to. The overseer was silent ; and he took the woman back to the workhouse, preparatory to bringing the parish sur geon, who was to examine her. MAR YLEB ONE. Yesterday a tall thin man, who gave his name Matthew Martini, was brought up in custody, charged by police con stable 138 D, who stated that on Sunday evening last, as he was on duty in Oxford-street, he beheld the prisoner sitting on the step of a door. He appeared very faint and weak, and was surrounded by a crowd of persons. He was unable to speak a word of English, and the real nature of his distress was not made known to the by-standers until the arrival of a foreigner, who, addressing the poor fellow in Italian, elicited from him that for some time past he had been serving in Spain under General Evans, but, from ill treatment and bad state of health, had been necessitated to come back to England. He further stated that he had not tasted a morsel of food since last Thursday, and that un less something were speedily done for him, he should die from starvation. Mr. RAwLyssori . (to the constable)—Take him to the workhouse, and relate the circumstances under which he was found. The constable took over the poor fellow as directed, and the relief afforded him was a slice of bread and cheese Having received which, he, as well as he was able, bobbled on LAMBETH-STREET. A rather good-looking young female, with an infant in her arms, addressing Mr. NORTON, said she requested his advice under the following circumstances. She stated that some time ago she became acquainted with a police con stable named Hudson, K 114, and the result of their inter course was the birth of the child she then had in her arms. The father agreed to allow her eighteen pence a week for the maintenance of the child, but instead of leaving it at any place for her, he compelled her to call on bim every week for him ; and the consequence was, that every time she so called he not only abused her himself, in the most shameful manner, but set on other policemen to do the same. Magistrate—ls he a single or married man ? Applicant —Single, Sir. Magistrate—Did I understand you to say that he seduced you ? Applicant—No, Sir, I can't say that. The fact was, that I had been seduced by another policeman, who was stationed close to where I had been at service, but I afterwards discovered him to be a married man. Hudson, K 114, was well aware of the fact, and promised, if I discontinued all intercourse with the other constable, he would marry me. Magistrate—Then I suppose he has forgotten his pro- mise. Applicant—He has, Sir, and that is not all, be taunts me with my former impropriety. Mr. NORTON had no doubt on an application being made to Mr. Young, the Superintendent of the division to which the man complained of belonged, he would see that justice would be done to her. The applicant left the office for the purpose of waiting on Mr. Young. THAMES OFFICE. Yesterday William Hayhow, the proprietor of three boot and shoe warehouses in High-street, Shadwell, and Rat cliffe-highway, was brought before Mr. BALLANTINE and Mr. CLARKSON, charged with threatening to murder his wife, and assaulting her in a most brutal manner. The parties, whose connections are highly respectable, were at tended by several friends. Mrs. Anna Hayhow, who appeared in a very weak state of health, and was overpowered with grief, was almost un able to give any evidence. She stated that her life was in the most imminent peril, and she had been repeatedly threat ened by her husband. On Sunday night Mr. Hayhow had been drinking to excess, and, without any provocation, he struck her several times with his clenched fists on the head, face, and back. He knocked her down and cut her face, and while she was down he kicked her. She tried to jump out of window, but hung by the leads overhanging the shop until she was rescued by a policeman and two seamen. Mr. Hayhow, a tall powerful man, here struck his fist on the rail before him with great vehemence, and exclaimed, " ll—n me, its as false as God's true." Mr. BALLANTINE desired the defendant to be quiet, and asked Mrs. Hayhow if her husband had ever ill-used her before. Mrs. Hayhow said he had repeatedly knocked her down, and declared he would be her butcher. It was with great reluctance she appeared as the prosecutrix of her husband, whose health had been for some time in a very bad state. Policeman, No. 247 K, on Sunday night was directed to the house of Mr. Hayhow, No. 143, Ratcliffe-highway, whence he heard the screams of a female and cries of mur der. On arriving at the house he saw Mrs. Hayhow hang ing to a swing sign with her body partly on the leads. She was in a most dangerous situation, and the blood was flow ing copiously from her mouth, where she had been struck. He knocked loudly at the door, which was opened by Mr. Hayhow, who, after ho had rescued Mrs. Hayhow, at tempted to strike her, and he had great difficulty in keep ingr, him away from her. Mr. Hayhow—She is labouring under a delusion, Sir. I have lived 23 years out of 40 in this parish, and I have got plenty of property. I beg to deny having struck her. If I was to lift my hand against that woman it would in- stantly perish. Mr. CLARKSON—Your wife, Sir, swears that you struck her ? Mr. Hayhow—lts false—as false as hell itself. Mrs. Hayhow here burst into tears, and said, " Oh, Sir, I don't think he knows what he says; he has lately commenced drinking to excess." Mr. CLARKSON ordered him to find bail, himself in 2001. and two good and sufficient sureties in the sum of 1001. each, to keep the peace and be of good behaviour towards all his Majesty's subjects, and especially to his wife, for the next twelve months, and to give 24 hours' notice of bail. He was then removed to the lock-up. On Sunday night Mrs. Burder, of Moulton, dis covered two men, named Ashton and Paulett, stealing coals out of a yard adjoining her house ; she instantly gave in formation to Smith, the constable, who obtained assistance, anal went to the house of the thieves. One of them pre sented a loaded pistol and the other a blunderbuss at the officers, who undauntedly threw themselves upon the ruffiao, and secured them. They were taken before the Magis trates at eight o'clock on Monday morning, fully committed for trial, a bill of indictment was prepared and presented before the Lincolnshire Grand Jury then sitting, a true bill found, the prisoners tried, and sentence of six months' im prisonment, with hard labour, pronounced in the short space of fifteen hours from the commission of the offence.— Lincoln Gazeitc, SPORTIN G INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALI',§---YEsiEithjk. TETE DERBY. There was a Letter muster yesterday than for some days past, but no improvement in business ; in fact, the speculations on the Derby commenced so early in the year, and such large sums have already been laid out, chiefly private (upwards of 40 horses having , been backed), that a dull winter may be expected. In the trans actions yesterday afternoon, as far as they regarded the three favou rites, Jereed had a decided call, a gentleman from the North having taken 1,650 to 200, and offered to go on ; 900 to 100 was taken about Brother to Bay Middleton, and offers made to take 6 to 5 between first and third choice ; 11 to 10 the highest bid. Darda nelles was backed at 16 to 1 for a small sum, and 19 to 1 offered against Flare-up. Phantasima was also mentioned, but at no price; his actual position in the market may be stated at 17 to 1, seven or eight points more than would be betted if he was in what is termed a " fancy stable;" 30 to 1 was taken two or three times about Clifton, the lavers being the first to stop. Two or three outsiders were mentioned without any change occurring in the odds respectively quoted against them last week. The following are the closing prices :- 5 to 1 agst Lord Jersey's two—take 6 to 1 to 1 agst Colonel Anson's Jereed—taken 9 to 1 agst Lord Jersey's Bro. to Bay Middleton—taken 9 to 1 agst Mr. Sadler's Defender 16 to 1 agst Lord Exeter's Dardanelles—taken 17 to 1 agst Lord Jersey's Flare-up 20 to 1 agst Mr. Wreford's Wintonian—take 25 to 1 30 to 1 agst Mr. E. Peel's Clifton—take 30 to 1 30 tot agst Mr. Greville's Mango 30 to 1 agst Mr. Bowers's Lord Stafford 35 to 1 agst Lord Exeter's Brother to Augustus—take 40 to 1 40 to 1 agst Lord Berners's Brother to May-day 2000 to 40 agst Mr. Cookes's Norgrove—taken 10 to 1 offered agst all Lord' Chesterfield's lot In the course of the last fortnight ten or twelve matches have been made for the next Spring Meetings at Newmarket, about eight of them being appointed for the Craven week. To these and ot her indications of improvement we may add that the recent no minations for Newmarket and Goodwood show three or four names n ew to the South country, amongst them being Mr. Watt, who so ong took the lead in the North ; we understand, too, that a Noble Lord, hitherto a stranger to the turf, and lately come to his title, intends to keep a small stud at Newmarket, which promises fair to become more prosperous than ever. A Steeple Match for 50 sovs. each, three miles, was run near town a few days ago between Mr. Osborne's Skyrocket and Mr. Anderson's Alice Grey, and won by the former by a neck, after a fine race. Captain Beecher rode the winner. Francis Boyce; the jockey, died at Newmarket, on Friday, having survived his wife a fortnight. His character was irreproachable. HUNTING APPOINTMENTS.

Mr. De Burgh's Stag Hounds met at Aston Abbots on Wednes day, and turned out a stag, which made for the direction of Leigh ton Buzzard, where, after a good run, it was taken. They met again at North Marston on Friday. The field was small, in consequence of the absence of Lord Errol and his party. His Lordship's absence has caused very considerable disappointment to many persons. A large party of sporting gentlemen had made their arrangements to visit Aylesbury, and enjoy the sport with the King's hounds during the week appointed by the Noble Master of the Buck Hounds ; and the sudden change in the appointments has been a matter of severe disappointment to many who had anticipated a week of enjoyment over our fine country, and in weather which has been unexpectedly propitious. - - It has been the custom of late years, in extensive fox-hunting establishments, to divide the hounds into dog and bitch packs ; and it is a fact, ascertained beyond all question, that a pack of bitches are fleeter, uniformly so, than a pack of dogs ; the most beautiful pack of fox hounds, and the swiftest we ever saw, were Mr. Os baldeston's Flying Ladies. By this division of the hounds the packs become more even or equal in individual size, and consequently more pleasing to the eye, than when dogs and bitches are mixed together. SECOND EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock. MARKET INTELLIGENCE• (From the New London Price Current of Nor. 22.) SUGAR.-The transactions in the West India Raw Sugar Market during the past week have been extremely moderate, although the importers have submitted to a reduction on previous prices of 63, a is. The greater decline has been on the middling and low descriptions. The grocers still continue to be the principal purchasers, and they take only sufficient to supply their immediate wants, the refiners being kept out of the Market by the dull and still continued decline in the value of their goods. 595. has been accepted for brown Demerara, which may be considered as the lowest point of the Market for brown Sugar, and 68s. for fine yellow grocery, which is now the extreme price, being a decline on the former from the highest point of the Market of Bs., and on the latter of ss. the deliveries still fall much short of those of last saason. The stock of West India Sugars is now 38,571 hhds. and trs., being 5,256 more than last year. The stock of Mau ritius is now 31,626 bags, which is 11,923 less than last year. The delivery of West India last week was 2,006 hhds. and trs., which is 887 less than last year. The delivery of Mauritius was 1,368 bags, being 1,508 less than the corresponding week of last year. This afternoon the Market was in a state of great inactivity ; the importers in vain submitted to a reduc tion of 63., but without inducing the buyers to take more than 350 hhds. and trs. ; the parcel of 140 hhds. of Barbadoes offered at public sale went off heavily at and after the sale at 6d. decline, mid. and fine yellow selling at 655. a 68s. 6d. The Refined goods reduced prices having again been sub mitted to, has occasioned a better demand from the home and export trade ; several parcels of double Crushed have been taken out of the Market at 395. 63. a 405., and good and fine Lumps by the grocers, at 80s. 6d. a 81s., which would pass the standard; Bastards are totally neglected, although offered at several shillings decline, the fall has been principally upon the ord. qualities ; Treacle remains firm in price, and there has been a fair business done. Dutch Crushed Sugar is offer ing at reduced prices, but without fin din g bu y ers. This afternoon there was a good export request for Refined goods from the shippers at steady rates, 80s. 6d. a 81s. paid for lumps entitled to the double bounty, and 395. 6d. a 40s. for fine crushed ; for the grocery descriptions there is very little request at present, but prices remain firm. For a parcel of 50 hhds. Dutch crushed, 375. has been accepted. There are sellers of British crushed for delivery in January at 375., but without meeting with buyers. MAURITIUS.-There have been no public sales, and the pri vate purchases have been limited, and confined to the good and fine yellow descriptions, for which rather lower prices have been submitted to; the brown and ord. yellow qualities are extremely heavy of sale. Still without arrivals, and no public sales are advertised. This day a public sale of 2,000 bags has been advertised for Friday next. EAST INDIA.-The holders of Bengal not being sellers on so favourable terms as they were last week, has caused the demand to be extremely moderate ; for Siam and Manilla there has been some inquiry, but nothing has been done, owing to the offers made being rather under former rates, at which there are not sellers ; at Liverpool a cargo o f the latter has been sold at 21s, FOREIGN.-The Market of all descriptions remains in a very dull state, no public sales having taken place, and the private purchases have been only 500 boxes yellow Havannah at 295. for fair quality, still the holders will not sell but at fully late rates. Average price of Sugar 1/. 19s. 2.1 d. per cwt. MOLAS3ER. -Not a single transaction has taken place in West India Molasses, and prices are uncertain.

Rust, BRANDT, AND HOLLANDS.-There is much demand for Rum at fully later prices, but owing to the small quantity in importers hands the sales are limited, particularly of Jamaica, and have been only a few parcels of the same 17 per cent. over at 4s. 2d., and 29 over 4s. Bd., very superior 3s. 6d. ; of Leewards and Demerara some small parcels have been taken the former proof to 5 over at 2s. 7d. a 2s.

SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. ARRIVALS AT LIVERPOOL, Nov. 20. The Amezade, Rocha, from St. Übe's Ester and Jane, Quadgle, Isle of Man. BUNDELKHUND. (From the Asiatic Journal.) The palace of Oorcha is a caste llated edifice, of veil considerable magnitude. it stands in the centre of a 5i712,11 island, about ;fur miles in extent, form ed by the dividing waters of the river i3,?twah, one branch of which washes tng he front of the building. A. handsome stopF bridge, leadi directly to the palace gate, has been erected over this stream ; the arshes are narrow and pointed, and the balustre deals either side atiorned with sm all o p en pavilions, at ints , each crowned with a melon - sh a p ed dome. The massy'grandeur of the pile gives an idea of strength and security-, which is borne out by the defe nces, which have been con structed with great skill, and would seem to bid defiance d e r so mething more than the ineffec tive missiles of an olr In era. The spectator is struck , both with the complexity of the design and the lavish ric hness of the ornaments. En a w hich fast, there are few, if any , of o ur baronial residences in - land, which will bear a comparis on with a structure, seems to unite all the strength of a castle with all the ela borate beauty of cathedral architecture. It is not adequate for mere description to convey any thing like an adequatt° wa ll idea of the multiplicity of ornament, the domes, turrets, t honed windows, stone balconies, terraces, and gateways, all richly sculptured, crowding upon the eye at every steps.," we tread the courts and platforms of this magnificent ple- It would have rewarded Sir. Walter Scott for a pilgrim a g e from the far North ; and the ban ds of armed retainers scat terettarround, the offensive and defensive weapons ready. for em ployment, complete the spell , sh owin g that the anci reign has not yet passed away , and that, if we will only tra vel far enough, we may find our selves surrounded by all t he insignia of feudal times. A lar g e but neglected pleasue-L g round, half park half garden , spre ads itself at the back o! the palace, and is enclosed by a high stone wall, strengthened by bastions and buttresses. Here many splendid flowering shrubs, which luxuriate in India without much attentiou to their cultivation, flourish ; wild p eacocks spread their go" genus plumage to the sun, and innumerable doves keep t ll ud P e. perpetual cooing , the pecu liar sound of ever y Indian soli A preserve of this kind offe rs the most favourable a nd de lightful opportunities to those wh o take p leasure in the cow' templation of animals in a state of p erfect p eace and eaitlY: ment. Although the liindoos, notwithstandina their abstv nence from flesh, and their aversion to shed blood,. make 111 1 9 ,,,Y exceptions, their gardens are always sacred, and netb letr can exceed the confidence and se curit y of the nunterollor animals congregating within their lab y rinths, and aevek molested, despite of the most outrageous depredations. Hindoo gardener will complain , w ith a lon g face, of the rob, Hindoo beries committed by the squirrel s on the p eas. You an order for the destruction of the se ma r auders, but in 4 9 ; the man declares that it is against his reli g ion to take lif m e, and if bent upon extermination , y ou must em p loy a 101° medan to perform the work. T he g ambols of these p therettl cre atures, however, fully compensate for a defalcation la harvest of peas, especially in jungle stations, where obssrviv tion of the habits of the animals a round forms one of th a t most interesting methods of beguili n g time. The number of squirrels disporting themselves in India, where there is sltr thing for them to subsist upon, seems beyond all calculatio.a; They are as plentiful as the sparrows, and appear 0 b equally attached to the dwellings of man, frequently ar e peaceably together under the sa me eaves. SparroWs ; usually a quarrelsome race, fighting a nd squabbling ill 111 ve°sr ou t rag eous manner, and rolling each ot her over and 9„fly„ upon the ground in the course of th eir battles. On one casion, however, the writer witnessed a very interestl scene. A squirrel, either incited by revenge or an unnatt9l thirst for blood, had seized a sparrow by the wing, and bird preparing to tear it to pieces ; the screams of the bile brought numbers of its comrades to the spot, and these little creatures, by beating the squirrel stoutly with their will o i obliged him to yield his victim, who escaped with the loss.l, a few feathers. Accustomed to the sight of man, the b i , r `:. and quadrupeds of an Indian garden evince little o r notla a° of that shyness which is the result o f fear, either excitedh.4 the strangeness of the object, or fro m sad ex p erienc 0 llii hostility. At Oorcha, the multitude of birds alighting a search of food, or merely to rest the w in g , form a variegatehe carpet of the most vivid and beautiful nature, while W ba is flocks of peacocks give their shining breasts to the 5 09 ,',, i p clouds of purple and green, as they fly along., or fling 9° their long trains from the branches of the trees.
